Jeremy gave Jason a small smile. "I heard from Tommy that you've been taking care of my wife. Should I hold a banquet to thank you then, Jason?"Corinne could feel the tension in the air between the two men. She would not even be surprised if thunder and lightning suddenly appeared in the room.However, it was obvious Jason did not want to have a direct confrontation since he smiled and said, "I'm doing what any friend would've done, so don't worry about it. I guess I should take my leave and head to breakfast alone now that you're here, Jeremy. Well, bye!"After that, he chuckled self-deprecatingly and gave them a wave before leaving the room. No one saw just how empty and hollow his eyes looked the moment he walked out. To his credit, he made sure to shut the door after him.Jeremy's brow was slightly relaxed after that. He looked at Corinne, whose face was still covered with her hands, and laughed out loud."You can put your hands down now. They're all gone."Corinne kept her

Joey's legs dangled helplessly in the air. He looked at Corinne with big sad puppy eyes while crying, "Sissy… Sissy!'Jeremy frowned. He took a deep breath and said nothing else, but this just made Joey even more frightened.There was nearly a ten-year age difference between Jeremy and Corinne. Joey calling her 'Sissy' only served to highlight the generational gap between them.Seeing this, Corinne quickly took Joey from Jeremy. "What are you doing? You're scaring him!""Don't you think it's inappropriate for him to call you 'Sissy?" asked Jeremy with a hardened expression.Corinne rolled her eyes at him turning back to Joey. "Don't mind him, Joey. You can call me anything you want. Sissy or Auntie doesn't make a difference to me," she said while stroking his head.Hearing this, Joey visibly relaxed. He nodded docilely and snuggled into Corinne's shoulder.As much as he was unhappy with Joey calling Corinne 'Sissy', Jeremy could not help but soften when he saw Corinne showering

'Joey's still so young. He doesn't even know he's just Anya's pawn, yet he has to suffer through all those beatings. He must be traumatized…'Corinne stroked Joey's head fondly. "Don't worry, Joey. I promise no one will ever lay a finger on you anymore."Joey rested his cheek on Corinne's shoulder and felt a sense of security and safety, which he never felt before. No matter what, he trusted Corinne and her promise completely.…Corinne carried Joey to the dining room where the servants had laid out a lavish breakfast spread.Jason had already started eating. He smiled when he saw her walking in. "Why are you here alone with the kid? Where's Jeremy?"Corinne sat a few seats away from Jason before answering, "He's putting on his clothes and will be here soon.""Oh." Jason picked up his glass of milk and took a sip to hide his disappointment.Corinne did not plan to continue the conversation, so she positioned Joey at the crook of her elbow before feeding him a bite of the omelet

"Oh, no reason in particular. I was just asking, that's all," Jason answered with a smile.Jeremy scoffed lightly. "I see you haven't changed at all, Jason. You always had a special interest in women who are taken."Hearing this, Corinne looked at Jason incredulously. 'Huh? What did Jeremy mean by that? Does Jason have a history of breaking up couples so he could be with the women?'Jason did not seem embarrassed by the accusation. "Oh, believe me when I say I don't have that kind of interest in the slightest. In fact, you could even say I was the victim in everything that happened before," he said with a wide grin.'Everything that happened before? Ooh, I smell a juicy story!' thought Corinne.Corinne's curiosity was definitely piqued. She looked at Jason and then at Jeremy with her eyebrows raised. She wanted to find out what happened between them in the past.Jeremy remained emotionless when Jason said he was the victim. It was as if he was too lazy to expose his lies. Instead

'So he still came.'Jason toned down his provocativeness when he saw Lucas walking in. "Lucas, I've known you for many years, but this is the first time I've seen you like this," he said teasingly.Lucas glanced at him. "I guess anything could happen, huh?"Jason smiled and went up to support him. "Here. Let me help you, Lucas. It pains me to see you like this."Lucas scoffed, but he did not turn down his offer.Corinne looked at the two of them and fell into a deep thought. 'It's just as Tommy said. Jason and Lucas are indeed closer to each other. At least they can joke around, far from Jason and Jeremy's relationship. If going by that vein, Jeremy, Zeke, and Gerald are closer too since they always roast each other.'Previously, Corinne thought the five guys were all good friends since they knew each other from a young age. She never thought they would form cliques among themselves too.Lucas sat down and looked at Corinne sternly. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming here?"

Lucas glared at Jason. "Oh, buzz off. Stay or leave, I don't care. As long as you keep that big mouth of yours shut."Jason shrugged and pouted. "See, you only talk to me like that! Meanwhile, you always try to please Corinne and Jeremy."Lucas' gaze turned colder. He picked up his crutches and lifted them to hit Jason.Seeing this, Jason quickly stood up and said with a shrug, "I'm done eating, so I think I'll take a walk. See you guys later!"After that, he strode out of the room.Lucas put back his crutches and sighed.Corinne could tell Lucas and Jason were really, really good friends since they could be themselves around each other.Lucas decided to shift his attention to Jeremy since there was nothing he could do about Corinne."When did you get back?" he asked him."Early this morning," answered Jeremy as he pulled out a tissue to wipe Joey's mouth.Lucas' face darkened. "Hmph! How can you leave your pregnant wife while you wander abroad?"Jeremy frowned for a second,

Thus, Jeremy asked Corinne to eat more.Corinne frowned as she watched Jeremy leave with Joey. 'Well, I guess I have some more room in my tummy, so I might as well eat more.'The personal chef in the summer villa was quite skilled at cooking so she heartily enjoyed the food. However, what she did not enjoy was Lucas staring at her eating from across the table.Lucas narrowed his eyes as he watched Jeremy leave the dining room. Being a smart cookie, he quickly understood Jeremy did that to give him some time with Corinne.'He might come off as cold most of the time, but he can be quite thoughtful. It's either that, or…he's just paving the road to call in a favor in the future when I become his brother-in-law.'"Corinne, do you have anything else you'd like to eat? I can ask Edmund to buy it for you," said Lucas with concern.However, Corinne did not appreciate his concern at all. She frowned and gave him a warning look. "No, thanks. Mister Lucas, I know you're trying to make up fo

"No! Anya really loves you. She's willing to do anything for you…"Corinne got up to check on the situation outside.Phoebe was kneeling to Jeremy with tears streaming down her cheeks, begging for Anya's release.Corinne narrowed her eyes. 'Just how stupid can this old woman get? Does she really think Jeremy will help her after everything she and Anya did to him and me?'Phoebe's pleading did nothing to evoke Jeremy's sympathy. He simply looked down at her with cold hatred. "Miss Phoebe, Anya has no one to blame but herself for where she ended up today. No one else can help her unless she repents for what she did."Realizing it was useless to beg Jeremy for help, Phoebe sobbed twice and wiped away her tears. "Well, if that's how you want to play it, you can just give Joey back to me!""Give him back to you? Why should I when he's legally my adopted son?" questioned Jeremy mockingly.Phoebe stood up and dusted off her clothes. "Mister Jeremy, have you forgotten that you and Anya

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
